Synopsis: The second edition of the Atlas of Interventional Cardiology reflects the most recent advances and improvements in both techniques and devices. The atlas includes an overview of the coronary arterial response to injury as well as invasive lesion assessment, specifically coronary physiologic assessment and intravascular ultrasound. General techniques and equipment selection are also presented, including emphasis on the evolution of stent design. With more than 500 illustrations, clinical photographs, instructive diagrams and charts, this updated reference covers a wide range of topics, including distal protection devices, invasive lesion assessment, peripheral arterial interventions, and extraction atherectomy.
